KARAK:
A man accused of kidnapping and other crimes escaped from the District Headquarters Hospital on Sunday, where he had been admitted. An official of the city police said Abdul Haleem had been taken to the hospital due to an illness. Early Sunday morning, Haleem jumped out of a window in the ward he was admitted in. When the on-duty police realised the convict had jumped out of the building, authorities launched a search operation. However, they were unable to trace him till this report was filed.
